The Year 1 curriculum provides a study of present and past family life within the context of the students’ own world. Students learn about similarities and differences in family life by comparing the present with the past. They begin to explore the links, and the changes that occur, over time.
How has family life changed or remained the same over time?
How can we show that the present is different from or similar to the past?
How do we describe the sequence of time?
· Differences in family structures and roles today, and how these have
changed or remained the same over time
· How the present, past and future are signified by terms indicating time such as ‘a long time ago’, ‘then and now’, ‘now and then’, ‘old and new’, ‘tomorrow’, as well as by dates and changes that may have personal significance, such as birthdays, celebrations and seasons
· Differences and similarities between students' daily lives and life during their parents’ and grandparents’ childhoods, including family traditions, leisure time and communications.

By the end of Year 1 students identify and place key events in their family history in sequence.
Students pose questions about the past using historical sources.
Students use sources about the past to compare features of objects from the past and the present and to identify how some aspects of life have changed over recent time while others have remained the same. They identify personal and family events that have significance. Students recall what happened in an event and relate stories about life in the past using different forms of communication (oral, graphic, written, role play). When telling their stories, they use familiar terms denoting time.
